Communication Settings
Configure automated patient communications across the care lifecycle
How this works: A message is only sent if (1) Clinic Defaults allows the event AND (2) the individual patient has not opted out of that category. Patients manage their own preferences via their portal; clinicians can override on the client edit page. Use the Patient Overrides tab to audit who has opted out of what.
